I noticed there were a couple of requests for more photos of my Remington 1894 EEO so here goes. Also this one was featured in Double guns Journal few years ago by Charlie Semmer. Enjoy. I apologize for the lousy photos. You would think that now that I am semi retired that I would spend some time learning to take some decent photos.

This one doesn't belong to me, but I have it for safekeeping. It's a 16 gauge German "guild gun" built in 1920:



There was a thread on it here:

Found in a little old lady's closet!

I've got my Grandpa's 1912 Fox Sterlingworth.

Hunted with it as a kid.

I found an original owner's manual in an antique store some years back too.

Some things are just meant to be.

I became a double gun man myself today. My local pusher, a pawn shop, had a LeFever 12 ga. double in semi rough (but will clean up) gun that was shouting for someone to take it home. Points good, comes to the shoulder good and I couldn't pass it up for $240.00
Will try it soon. If'n it don't do good, then off to someone else.

I have this browning BSS 12 gauge.

I have always loved doubles, and have had a few, but now only three, two of them don't count, because they ar OU's; a Beretta 682 Gold E for trap doubles, and an early Ruger Red Label, with the blued receiver.

My pride and joy is a Husqvarna 310 12 guage, built about 1910. In the Shooter's Bible Treasury, they show the plainest 310 for a higher price than medium grade Parker's and Foxes. Not today! It has 2 1/2 chambers, so I bought a case of Westley Richards shells for it, and haven't gotten around to shooting it since. When I first got it, I wasn't aware of the short chambers, and three of us took turns shooting twenty-five birds at trap. Between us, we only missed three targets, not bad for a strange gun.

Being of Swedish extraction, and having a wife who spoke Swedish in her home until grade school made me really appreciate this fine shotgun.

I've got an heirloom Ithaca. Not sure which great grand uncle actually aquired it back in the late 1800's. First hammerless model but still built for blackpowder shells. Damascus barrels. Stock got broken in the early 1900's out in Idaho but that's all the story I know. Now it sports a hand carved stock....with an attempt at a Monte Carlo cheek piece. Not real pretty but wouldn't trade it for anything. I remember Dad shooting it a couple of times back in the mid-60's but since then it's been a safe queen. Get her out to lightly oil and look but that's it.

Winchester Model 24, 16 ga. Manufactured 1941, perfect except tiny dent in right barrel. It will stay that way, it reminds me of the original owner, my friend Paul. R.I.P.

My collection of doubleguns contains the following:

1. Lefever Arms EE 12ga

2. D. M. Lefever and Sons 7D 12ga

3. Lefever Arms GH 12ga.

4. L.C. Smith Ideal Grade 3" mag 12ga

5. A.H. Fox XE 20ga

6. A.H. Fox XE 12ga

7. A.H. Fox A grade 12ga

8. Parker Bros. DH #1 12ga

9. Parker Bros. GH #1 1/2 12ga

10. Parker Bros. VH #0 16ga

11. Baltimore Arms Co. A grade 12ga

12. Lefever Nitro Special 16ga

All have fluid steel barrels and are in 98% condition or better. I have been a liitle while putting this bunch together...

I'm startin' to worry again.

I put off reading this thread for a while. So now I read it and made a scary discovery. Both Caje and Feral have my shotgun! Way back in 1974 I wanted a shotgun. My old 870 just wasn't getting the job done, so I went shopping and located a BSS with 26" IC/M barrels. It was outrageously expensive at the time $274.50. But I'd squirreled away the money and I bought it (with my wife's permission.)

I've recently seen a couple at the gun shows, all approaching $1500. So I'm not selling it, and I'm not buying another.

I have a small collection of coach guns. Any shotgun that looks good for under $300 is a take home.

The best pheasant gun I ever owned was a Beretta 626 Onyx in 12 gauge with 26 inch barrels, and chambered for 3-inch shells. What a light, quick handling field gun, and perfect for pheasant in the deep corn. Man, I am sorry I let that one go. . .

I purchased a new S&W Elite Gold 20 ga. this year. I'm very happy with it. Great grouse gun and the workmanship is top shelf.

I wouldn't start to worry too much unless you start getting the itch to go to law school. Then you should get VERY afraid!!!!!

I have an L.C.Smith and a Fox Sterlingworth, Both 12 ga.

Been there, done that. Then one day I walked out the front door. I realized I didn't want to do that all my life. No offense (and I've since met some good ones) but at that time I realized I'd never met a law student or professor I liked, or would like to be similar to. Its a shocking revelation when it happens. I don't consider it two wasted years, it was just an eye opener. We learn some lessons the expensive way.

I have 2 - a 1960 vintage 12ga Beretta Silver Hawk and a 1945 vintage 12ga Winchester 24. I like doubles. The best I have had prior than these was an assortment of Fox and Stevens doubles.

I am honored to own a Winchester Model 21

I have a Darne double also. I saw one in the Shooter's Bible years ago and it took me 35 years to find one at the same time I had money!!

Looking at these hammerless shotguns got me to wondering if they would be considered striker fired guns . . . you know, like a Glock.

Not sure if this was tongue in cheek--but most "hammerless" shotguns simply have an internal hammer that looks very similar to an external hammer.
